This map was a bit of a struggle and I'm not too proud of it but it was fun to mess around with tiles I haven't used before and try to make a map like this

I like the park, the cityscape section though if it weren't as boxy or zig-zaggy would look nicer. I would recommend using more pathway intersections that you'd see in a normal town, T-Junctions and 4-Way Intersections along with making small corner pockets for stores. Doign this could help divy up the atmosphere and also provide more places to put items into the map.

I really like your use of spacing in this map, makes everything connect together. Though I would say to work on making your mountain a bit more unique and lively, currently it looks a bit flat, now the player may not be able to see the full thing but allowing for time to make it look more natural is beneficial.

Tileset credits: It's a private tileset done for pokémon Perseida, in this specific map it contains tiles made by me(Clara_Dragon), Magiscarf, Kyledove, hek-el-grande, and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, so just in case here's the full credit list of the game.
Comments: I've been stuck just doing events in my game for a while, so this is an ideal excuse to map random things. Spent around an hour and half making the map and adding extra details.
Looking for feedback?: Sure, feedback is always welcomed.

Spoiler: Map

This map is wonderful, I don't have much to say about it other than having walkable grass in areas that aren't reachable is sometimes a bit weird looking, makes you think there is a way to arrive there in some fashion.

Comments: This took longer than I wanted it to because I kept messing up the roof placement and I have no idea how to make the dark grass patches look natural but I like how it came out.
Looking for feedback?: If you want :)

I like the use of multiple ways to get around here feels like a proper city, but the park section seems a bit bland without variation in the grass that you have, using multiple types of the grass adds contrast to a scene; along with changing up the river some to not be as linear and make it a bit more natural looking with bends and curves. Good job keeping the buildings in different spots and sizes makes the outside feel alive and not static.

From the description: With the cancellation of the Relic Castle Winter Game Jam 2024, I saw it as an opportunity to do something I've been wanting to do for a while now. Make my own Game Jam.

Did the Winter Game Jam actually get canceled several months in advance with no notification of it on the forums?

Yes, sorry about that. Back in September and again in maybe 3 weeks ago, staff members posted in the Discord server that people shouldn't expect another Winter Game Jam in January. I personally never viewed it as an annual tradition, and "the winter game jam isn't going to be every winter" sounds nicer than "we are canceling the winter game jam" but I do apologize for the radio silence from us!

Comments: And the award for latest entry goes to... anyway, I think this map is okay. I had the Overlook Hotel from The Shining when I made this, a winding mountain road leading to a solitary building. Kind of struggled with the tileset because I'm a little dumb and because it felt a tad limiting decoration-wise, but that's okay! We go again tomorrow.

Inspiration for this one came quite quick, as soon as I saw the prompt and optional set for the West theme, again another quick map from me, but im more proud of this map than the last one. Again Feedback is welcomed with open arms, be as critical as you want.

I quite like the map, though one of my things for feedback is making your base layer grass not be straight lines of 2 grass types, try to make them varied by filling the map with a 3x3 spread of them placed a bit randomly. Other than that everything looks really nice, the cliffs flow well and the trees look nice, though i would add some to the bottom layer to add some contrast to the tree bases.

Comments: I made these tiles a few weeks ago but didn't have the energy to compile them into a tileset. Spent 66 minutes on this and made heaps of mistakes (used the wrong cliff bottoms d'oh!) I like the idea but need to refine this a lot more.

Feedback, please!

I love that it's a Shellos ranch! That's such a creative idea. The map looks great too.

The map is too open in my opinion, having more trees and snow layering present could've helped, the dead space and rectangular cliffs also take away from what could be a nice map, especially that front section with the Tori and Trees

Comments: Made very quickly once again (you can thank finals week). I went for a super small map, probably unplayable, just to try out this amazing tileset and panorama Armin used in the previous Iron Mapper. I've always loved high cliffs-- not sure I pulled it off upon first glance, and there may be a tile error here and there. But there are also ten more days, so I'm not too worried ;)
Looking for feedback?: Eh, not really for this one.
